Appraisal:
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. I should make my passwords more complicated. Change them more often than every few, ummm, decades? That's all the computer related security I need to worry about, right?

No, wrong.

The author of Hacked Again is a frequent “expert,” called on to discuss computer security with various news outlets as well as owning a computer security related business. His suggestions for appropriate security for an individual or small business are not only solid, but his stories about security breaches and explanations of what could have prevented them entertain while convincing the reader.

Great review, Al. It sounds as if Scott has managed to make what could have been quite a dry read entertaining.

Love the cover.

Now, go change those passwords. :)
